Annual General Meeting

Annual General Meeting is an important annual event where members get an opportunity to discuss the activities of the company.

Holding of Annual General Meeting –

Section 96 of the Companies Act, 2013 contains provisions regarding the holding of Annual General Meeting.

It provides that every company, other than a One Person Company is required to hold Annual General Meeting every year.

The first Annual General Meeting of a company shall be held within a period of nine months from the date of closing of the first financial year of the company. Hence it shall not be necessary to hold any AGM in the year of its incorporation.

Subsequent Annual General Meeting should be held within a period of six months from the date of closing of the financial year.

The gap between two Annual General Meetings should not exceed 15 months.

Extension of validity period of Annual General Meeting –

In case, it is not possible for a company to hold an annual general meeting within the prescribed time, the Registrar may, for any special reason, extend the time within which any annual general meeting shall be held, by a period not exceeding three months. No extension of time can be granted by the Registrar for the holding of the first Annual General Meeting.

Time and place for holding an Annual General Meeting –

Every annual general meeting shall be called during business hours, that is, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on any day that is not a National Holiday. It shall be held either at the registered office of the company or at some other place within the city, town or village in which the registered office of the company is situated.

The Central Government may exempt any company from these provisions subject to such conditions as it may impose.

For this purpose, “National Holiday” means and includes a day declared as National Holiday by the Central Government.

Power of Tribunal to call annual general meeting –
